Hypothetical:
You've recently been hired at a new job. You, along with a group of your new hire coworkers, are partaking in group trainings and getting to know each other. Over the next few days some people buddies pair off and groups start to form. You, however, being the social butterfly, tend to bounce around and seem to be a friend to all, even a kind-yet-goofy guy named Dan.

On day 3 of new hire cohort training, you overhear a conversation between goofy Dan and a duo of two people who peaked in high school. The duo is berating goofy Dan for asking a question and begin mocking him.
One even calls Dan a Re-rd.

What do you do next?

A. Keep your head low, making enemies at a new work place could have long term consequences.

B. Oh, hell no. No one is about bully MY friend goofy Dan up in this place. Start with a loud, assertive "Wait - what are you even talking about?" While simultaneously placing your body in front of goofy Dan, like a human bully shield. Suddenly time and space do not exist.
There's only you and a strong sense of justice over taking the world.

Put your answer below ⬇️

Ps- sorry if you saw this post any where else. Between waiting for mods to approve and my need for instant results coupled with my impulse control issues. I just went to town.

Mentor residents created a self fulfilling prophecy for Mentor Schools

Since 2021, I have watched a vocal group of Mentor residents become more and more hostile toward their own public schools. School board meetings have been filled with political claims presented as facts. Facebook posts have accused teachers, board members, and other employees of “brainwashing” students or encouraging gender dysphoria, often with little or no evidence. I even watched a Mentor resident spread the modern day urban legend about a student identifying as a cat and being given a school-approved litter box at a Mentor elementary school.

During those same years, I had the chance to see Mentor Schools from the inside. As a temporary district employee, I saw what happened behind the scenes. What I saw was very different from the school district being described on social media and at board meetings.

I saw employees who took pride in their work and their role in students’ success. I watched teachers cry because they cared so deeply about their students. I watched Mentor athletics continue to succeed, win titles, and help student-athletes reach the collegiate level. I saw impressive technology being used in classrooms. I also watched Mentor Schools continue to show strong academic results on state tests and Ohio’s school report cards.

That does not mean Mentor Schools should be free from criticism. Public schools should be questioned and held accountable. Criticism based on facts can make a school district better, whereas widespread local misinformation coupled with hasty decisions can tear one down.

Over time, those attacks have happened alongside serious problems for the district. Mentor Schools has lost many students to private and Catholic schools, helped in part by Ohio’s expansion of publicly funded school vouchers. At the same time, Mentor voters have rejected school levies, leaving the district with fewer financial resources. Ultimately undoing the hard work of generations of taxpayers employees and residents alike.

Mentor is now beginning to face that reality. A community cannot spend years attacking its schools, refusing them resources, and encouraging families to leave, then be surprised when those schools become weaker.

I write this post not as a journalist looking for clickbaity, divisive, party line riding BS. But as a parent, an educator, and a citizen. Only time will tell how these actions and choices ultimately play out. But with shrinking resources and what might be a sparked exodus of school district employees, it’s possible that Mentor Exempted Village School District best days are behind them.

Does anyone remember the Google Maps post?

Can anyone help me find a specific post from this page? It was the post of the Google or Apple Maps photos of what the Sun pharmaceuticals and API companies look like in India. I don’t see it anywhere and I feel like it got taken down which is kind of suspect. so if I just can’t find the link could someone please share it?

The reason why I think it’s taken down is that it was one of the top posts on this page and so it should come up when I search for it but it’s not.

I was about to talk mad smack about these generics to my mom who is a retired pharmacist and I couldn’t find the post anywhere! Can’t lose my credibility now.

Preparing high schoolers for interactions with LEOs

TLDR: What if anything do you do to prepare your students for (positive or negative) interactions with the police?
Does your school or Classroom do anything to prepare students to withstand frustration while experiencing a consequence from law-enforcement officers? Specifically students with level 1 autism. Does anyone include something in the transition section about registering with local police departments as someone with autism? Or having them wear autism bracelets at all time (which you know, that could kind of suck for them).
—
If there is nothing in place, please just indicate ‘no’ so I can gauge the yeas vs nays.

Every time I’ve brought this up at school I get weird looks. But I just watched a body cam video of a police officer doing a DUI stop on a girl who reminded me so much of a student that I have. Although this is just a general question not specific for this certain student, just to add context, this student would be considered like level one autism. A very common scenario in my teaching experience is where my students don’t “ look” like they have autism and I think it would just be very hard to train all police officers in noticing just little subtle things that would indicate like maybe this person’s on the spectrum. My hope is that the students could have successful productive independent lives but so many times in school were told to lower the demand. Something like a speeding ticket or God forbid a DUI could cause my students to completely blow their noodle over it. And like sure I do things like Superflex and like consequence mapping. But it still just doesn’t feel like enough to explicitly teach them and role-play how to interact with Police. I’m explicitly worried about students who don’t seem to the person like they have autism. So just to reiterate I don’t need advice about how to support my current student. I would like to know if any one is preparing all student students for these life experiences.

2 different pharmacies. 2 different experiences.

Due to the medication shortage I had to submit my prescription last month to a different pharmacy. Just called this pharmacy to see if they have the next month prescription on file and if they have any medication stock. The tech was so rude, judgment, and not helpful. Next, I called my normal pharmacy to see if they have my next prescription on file. The tech was beyond nice. So helpful so understanding gave me so much information. It’s wild that the same person, calling with the same question can be treated two different ways. It’s messed up man. This is just a reminder that it’s not you people are being mean out there and they don’t have to be.
Edit: just a random comment to add to this. Today I took a 25 XR granules at 11 AM and was sleeping hard as a rock by 1 PM in 2011 if I were to take an Adderall XR 20 there is 0% chance that I could sleep.

Medfinder?

I really don’t know the legality or functionality of this but, hear me out. If one person signs up for Medfinder and just happens to like accidentally share their login and maybe like a random password. And maybe in that same post, the medfinder subscriber shared their Venmo/Zelle account (bc it is their birthday!). And somehow we could accidentally crowdsource this resource. Or maybe if somebody already signed up for it and they’re looking to maybe get back some of their money. Idk just saying words. And ideas.
Side quest comment: Does anyone else think that we (this subreddit community) could be the last, true grassroots organization for this American capitalistic society?!

Doing this instead of things I’m supposed to do

AI helped make the table but all the information was gathered from the website that everyone refers to when talking about the shortages. Just figured I’d share it in case anyone else wants to be distracted from doing what they’re supposed to be doing whilst unmedicated
Date of publication from this information is late April 2026. I can assume that most, if not all of these are now labled shortage

CVS generic brand Adderall XR

In July I will not have medical insurance. My current medical insurance through my current Teaching job ends June 30 and my new insurance for my new job starts in August so my plan is to use good RX based on the good RX website it looks like CVS is probably the cheapest of the locations to get Adderall XR. Is anyone currently using CVS to get their Adderall XR filled and if so what generic do they currently use?

The audacity to use a sick day

I had to use a sick day today. I am the parent of two toddlers going to two different daycare’s and it’s just a constant flow of different germs in my house. This morning when I notified my principal that I would be out sick her comment back was “ That’s unfortunate”.
Previous years principles might say OK or maybe even feel better soon. When I addressed my concerns about her comment she guess led me to high heaven! So now I have terrible anxiety, even though I know that my principal was out of line with that comment. Got that anyone owes this to me but if anyone else is in the trenches can offer some hype for a tired mama using a sick day in May, please feel free to post a comment. And if there are any haters - no need to share your opinion on the situation because my principal has slowly crushed my spirit over the past nine months. Don’t worry I already have a new job lined up for August. 11 days but who’s counting?!

Remember the show Undercover Boss?
I think they should reprise it with Undercover Admin Office and School Board. Those members can do the job AND receive the pay of parapros for a month.
I would just love to see the District Treasurer and Head of HR in a self contained/cross categorical classroom.
Or the Superintendent and School Board President have a 25 minute lunch with no breaks for 7.5 hours, 5 days a week.
Or the Curriculum Instruction Director spending a month in the Emotional Distributed Behavior Unit.

And the pay is important. They all have to risk their lives for live off $18.47 an hour.
